Marco Sanchez

Marco Sanchez was born in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in Buena Park, Ca. he comes from a Guatemalan family with 4 older sisters. He grew up in public housing his whole life and had to grind tooth and nail for everything. He is proud of growing up in the hood. It’s what made him. He feels he will be a Buena Park soldier for life. The struggle gave him a relentless work ethic to become something great and make people from his hood and his family proud. He wants to inspire young kids and kids that grew up the way I did to show them that if you work hard anything is possible. It doesn’t mean you won’t have more trials and tribulations but if you have God in your heart and the willingness to outwork anyone… great things are going to happen. Think gold and never settle for silver. In all aspects of life. He started doing martial arts when he was 18 years old. He began training Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after it was recommended by a close friend. After that he never looked back. The camaraderie and the love he received really impacted his life and gave him a sense of direction in his life. He had his first MMA fight 6 months into training. He felt like he finally found his calling. For 13 years or so he has been competing in different disciplines. He trains at Classic Fight Team, one of the most prestigious gyms in the world. There he became close friends and brothers over the years with Raymond Daniels. He was one of his main training partners for many of his kickboxing and mma fights. He taught him Karate and he fell in love with the art, mixing it with his other martial arts. He wants to display his art in Karate Combat, the biggest striking platform in the world to show that anything is possible. No matter where you come from or hardships you encounter in a fight and in life… that if you do things with a good heart, good intentions, and a relentless work ethic anything is possible.
